Anchor Angad Bedi writes a diary
5:00 amWoke up to make my way to the Mumbai airport for a flight to Chennai.
9:00 amLanded in Chennai and by the time I checked into my hotel, it was 10:15.u00a0
10:30 amWasted no time to head to the Coffee Shop for some breakfast. Enjoyed the idlis and dosas as well as the filter coffee which Chennai is so famous for.
11:00 amGot to the hotel gym and discovered I have company u2014Joginder Sharma, RP Singh and Andrew Symonds.
1:30 pmTime for some lunch, so I order my favourite Spaghetti Bolognese and a beef burger. Get down to preparing for the match and make those important notes.
3:30 pmNot a bad idea to watch the build-up to the Kolkata Knight Riders vs Bangalore Royal Challengers game
on TV
8:00 - 11:30 pmThe game starts at 8 pm. Laxman departs for 12.u00a0 Andrew Symonds is helped by Herschelle Gibbs as they took some quick singles and then the bull takes over. He ends up gettinga 50.
When Chennai bat, they are up against the brilliance of Chaminda Vaas.u00a0 Matthew Hayden cannot do much with his new Mongoose bat. For me, the match lacked a genuine support bowler. Anyway, the hosts ended up losing.
12:45
Time to hit the bed. Have another early morning flight to catch u2014 to Bangalore for Tuesday's Royal Challengers vs Kings XI Punjab match!
